It was so nice to keep the cleanliness and helping the difficulties, so that travelers can rest comfortably.

Probably one of the most laid back and chilled hostel I ever stayed in. The hostel had 3 kitchens so you never had stress during cooking. Bathrooms and kitchen were always very clean. The rooms were really big and there were plugs next to every bed and in every locker. The staff was very nice and friendly. You could also use bikes and other stuff for free. The lounge/living room was very comfortable and you just have to walk 5 minutes into town. Great hostel!

What i liked about this hostel is it accommodated your needs. There was a charging port and light next to every bed there was a locker for your things. Also had cute holders above your bed to put water etc in and the Staff were really nice. Its more homely than hostely. Thanks for the stay guys.

The staff was super helpful and caring, I was sick and they brought me extra pillows without askinand offered to give me a hot water bottle. Good kitchen. Good common room. Free bike hire, although bike wasn’t super good. Free parking. Every dorm bed had their own power outlet and reading light! Wifi worked well.

The location is great! Walking distance to everything and close to a bus stop if you need to be picked up for tours. The staff were very friendly and helpful and gave us a tour of the facilities when we checked in which I thought was a nice touch which usually doesn’t happen at hostels.
They also have a key card on a lanyard to enter the hostel and your room which I thought was really smart and handy opposed to a key which is a lot easier to misplace

Booking.com guest review guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This lets us know that our reviews come from real guests, like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or quiet room than someone who’s stayed at the property before?

We want you to share your story, both the good and the bad. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinion and experiences, which are critical in helping guests make well-informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, and are treated with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after being moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

Once a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We will use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content as well as the property replies to that content.

We will allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is that of a distributor of feedback from both guest and property.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc...).
